I hear the drums echoing tonightBut she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in twelve-thirty flightHer moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the wayHoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the nightAs they grow restless longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's rightSure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the SerengetI I seek to cure what's deep inside,frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
